ABOUT GROUP WORKOUTS

Zwifters line up in the starting area just like a normal event and once the event starts, workout mode begins. Everyone stays together regardless of power output. That's right, if you're outputting 100W and another Zwifter is outputting 400W you will stay in exactly the same position relative to each other. Only if you stop pedaling and fall 6 meters behind the group will the rubber-banding stop.

ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

CTS and Zwift are excited to get you into holiday shape with this 15 day/8 stage workout progression. This set of workouts is designed to simulate a stage race. Each day will offer different challenges just as a multi-day event would.

Stage 3: This is our first day in the mountains. Be ready to work smooth and steady in z3 and z4 with bouts of z5 to push over the top or answer an attack! This is the first true test of your depth of fitness at threshold!

Length: 58 minutes

HELPFUL HINT

We highly recommend doing one of the FTP tests as the estimated FTP can be inaccurate and make the difficulty level of the workouts too high for your current fitness level.
